Dentons has provided pro bono legal assistance to Dobry Start in drafting a bill to end the operation of institutional facilities for children under the age of three in the Czech Republic.
According to Dentons, “the bill sets out stronger support for foster parenting as a replacement to institutional care during the transitional period. The bill passed the entire legislative process last week and will be officially published in the upcoming days.” According to the firm, “the Czech Republic was one of the last European countries operating such institutions and was widely criticized by both local child welfare experts as well as European institutions.”
The Dentons team included Associates Anna Urbanova and Jakub Nosek.
